    Hello Peter10 

     

    If you click on the blue arrow to enter the Tax field, (you'll get an arrow about changing the tax affecting BAS, click OK), in the 'Tax' column on the far right, see if you can edit out the last decimal place. I was able to edit this tax figure manually, changing it from the original $2,108.21 calculated to $2,108.55, so this may be as simple as deleting that .XX3 from the tax calculation which would in turn remove it from the balance owed. I was unable to test this in my own software though, as I couldn't trick it into adding that third decimal place. 

     

    Please give this a go and let me know if it works.

      Hi Emily

       

      Thank you for responding, sadly no, this is not a fix, I tried this before without success. The transaction is very old May 2018 and year end processes etc of course been completed. I can't undertstand how MYOB would allow this in the first place

       

      Hopefully you or someone else might have a fix for me

       

      Thank you once again

        Hello Peter10 

         

        Thanks for letting me know, just to confirm the process of what has happened: this transaction is from May 2018 from another source, it was for $23,190.34 and it was paid for $23,190.34. When you imported this transaction into AccountRight, the GST was calculated as $2,108.213 instead of $2,108.21, resulting in .003 out of balance on this invoice? Additionally, could you let me know what source you imported the transaction from and if there is any chance it was manually edited in error during the import process? As I am not finding any other examples of this happening I will need to investigate further but just want to confirm I understand the timeline of what has happened.
